I was pleasantly warm and actually found myself a bit hot when I rode some hills in the sun. I am excited to ride in the cold and not arrive everywhere sweaty. However, the hat hair sucks. Oh well, you win some, you love some.

38! cold! you have got to be kidding me! this time of year, we are luck to hit 25 without a wind chill, which usually brings it around 15-17 on a WARM day

when you are dealing with 0 degree weather its a whole other story! and it requires a little less fashion sense and a whole lot more looking like the Michelin man Although to be fair my core gets very very warm, while I have double gloves on my fingers, and my toes are near freezing even with thick Vermont made wool socks (if I don’t wear my steel toed boots that is)

Good on you for staying on the bike through the winter. IMHO, your 27-38 range is just about the worst temperature for commuting, because the humidity chills to the bone. I am much happier riding in the 12-22 range, because that cold is just cold — it doesn’t seep in. Below 12, i start wearing tights under the kilt; below 0, i wear two layers of tights; below -10, i stop riding, because the grease in my headtube gets too thick, and steering becomes a problem — plus my shifters stop working.

Keep the sticky side down.

No need to downplay the ensemble because your hair is ruffled a bit. Skirt, boots, tights, all bundled up bright for visibility during your ride – totally captivating and cute!
